In Oman the HSBC Group is represented by HSBC Bank Oman S.A.O.G. In June 2012, HSBC Bank Middle East’s Oman operations merged with Oman International Bank, an institution with a rich heritage, which was listed on the Muscat Securities Market. The new bank was renamed HSBC Bank Oman S.A.O.G.
HSBC has been present in Oman since 1948 and for two decades was the only bank operating in the country. In 1970 it assisted in the first issue of the Omani currency.
Over the years the bank has delivered a number of “firsts” for Oman, including being the first to offer ATMs, provide international ATM cash withdrawals, introduce an online banking system, and offer commercial electronic banking through its “Hexagon” product.
Today HSBC Bank Oman provides a wide range of banking services for both corporate and retail customers.
